Meet others concerned about developing a recurrence or metastases.
Good morning, I haven’t posted here in a while but, I do check in to read the posts from time to time to gain knowledge and peace. I’m very thankful for the ladies here, though I wish none of us were here. So, if I could get some of you to offer advice, prayers, or experiences I would appreciate it. So, in early October I…
I had an mri a month ago. I finally called my Dr to get the results. I was told over the phone no cancer but I could schedule an appointment to discuss. I put it off because of hearing no cancer but yesterday I got a call to find out why I haven’t booked an appointment. (??). So now I’m going in on Monday and I’m not even…
Hi, I had a my double mastectomy 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with POS/POS/Neg cancer. I had one 3cm lump and lots of specs that would have been too hard to biopsy all of them. This October I felt a lump in my armpit. I had my ultrasound yesterday. They said they think its fat necrosis but want to biopsy it because there…
Had a "mole" removed on breast - (same breast where original cancer was) (3 wks ago) & path report from local hospital then sent biopsy out to The Cleveland Lab. No concrete explanation from my breast md except "perhaps something to do w blood vessels". Assured it was not cancer in July 2024 by same breast md. Advised it…

I am a walking mess. I had MOHS surgery for skin cancer on my nose in 2012, it came back, and I am waiting for surgery on that on December 19. I scheduled my mammogram /ultrasound prior to the surgery and guess what - a lump, round mass, whatever we call it in the same breast I had DCIS in 2008 (had 2 lumpectomies and…
Hi! I’m wondering whether there are others who have had a nipple sparing mastectomy that developed a lump in that nipple and it wasn’t something to be concerned about? I’m two years out from surgery and have a hard lump right in that nipple. There has been some gunky white stuff that has come out too but I think that is…
Hi friends have a question . Did anyone have an experience of having one Solitary lung nodule 5 years after cancer. I am still waiting for a biopsy.
Has anyone with traditional Medicare had a FES PET/CT scan? I can’t get a definitive answer on payment for the procedure from either the hospital or CMS. Both say that an FDG PET/CT is covered so the answer is “probably.” Given the cost (more than FDG) I’m worried about having it done without knowing for sure. After two…
